Later in the day, Hamas announced the imminent return of four additional deceased hostages, expected late tonight and tomorrow. By early evening, the Red Cross was en route, and subsequently received four coffins, which were then transferred to IDF forces and crossed into Israeli territory for identification. Unlike yesterday, Hamas did not release the identities of these four.
